Mr. Bernal said the inauguration of the new building signifies the fulfillment of ARDCI’s dream to build its own building in areas where it operates.  Construction of the building took almost a year. ARDCI plans to build its own building for other branches within the next few years.

He also took pride of the new two-story building, which he said is well ventilated and spacious enough to accommodate the heavy influx of people who transact with ARDCI every day. Its design echoes that of the Head Office. The new office building is also equipped with closed-circuit security cameras.

Located on the ground floor are the frontline offices with a roomy reception area, conference room, and pantry. Other offices and the employee lounge are located on the second floor.
